Next Up: No Water No Beer Speaker Series

Join us for the next installment of Public Works Experience’s No Water, No Beer speaker series featuring Beth O’Connell, former Chief Engineer for Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works and current Capital Delivery Optimization Program Manager.

Ms. O'Connell will explore a challenge familiar to anyone in public works: water utilities are invisible by design—easy to overlook until something goes wrong.

Drawing on forty years of Anne Arundel County’s water system—and inspiration from craft brewers who have built enthusiastic audiences around everything from mash temperatures to water chemistry—Beth will make the case for a different way to tell the story of water infrastructure. One that falls somewhere between the billboard and the silence.

Expect an engaging conversation about water, infrastructure, engineering, chemistry, and how we can get people interested in the systems they depend on every single day.

The Public Works Experience's No Water, No Beer Speaker Series brings together leaders, innovators, and public works professionals to discuss the infrastructure systems that make modern life possible.
